What is a “wife”?

Published on January 28, 2010

So I’m home this month. My next show doesn’t start rehearsals until Feb 9th, which means I’ve had plenty of time to help get the new apartment situated. Ben has been working like crazy all over the place, which puts most of the household chores on me at the moment. Which is totally fine, because [...]


February Updates (or, Why I’ve Been Silent So Long)

Published on February 22, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to write anything here. Mostly, it’s been for positive reasons: I’ve been working a lot of hours, going straight from one show to the next, and all the free time I have in between, I tend to devote to offline endeavors. I’ve been baking like a fiend [...]


Berry Picking

Published on July 3, 2008

Fantastic afternoon today. B & I went out for a walk to the bank to deposit checks, and took a shortcut through the woods behind the development next to ours. I dropped my sunglasses (of course — I lose more sunglasses than anybody else I know), and we turned back to go find them. Something [...]


Fried Rice Beyond All Else

Published on July 5, 2007

I’m not completely happy with my chopped liver recipe and how it turned out. It’s in the freezer for when I’ll get a chance to go see my grandmother and get her to help me fix it. In the meantime, I still need things to eat, so this afternoon, I broke out my old stand [...]


Living On The Cheap

Published on June 29, 2007

The income from a career in theater has been, well, much as I expected. Unfortunately, that isn’t high. I’ve been struggling lately between bills and income and the balance between the two, quite frankly, has not been what it should be. Two months in a row, I’m running in the red, and finally I decided [...]


Senior Surprises

kritha: Fashion and other concerns.
I really couldn’t sum up what happened closing night of Fashion. Fortunately, Lei did it for me. Since she plotted it all out, her version sums things up pretty well.


Coming Unstitched

Published on January 14, 2006

Through impenetrable fog, Mom, Amanda, and I braved our way down the parkway through mists thick enough to choke small animals to drop Amanda off for her flight out of BWI. To make matters worse, this was just before eight in the morning, a time whose existance I would dearly love to forget. From there, [...]


Post-Surgical Lessons

Published on January 8, 2006

There’s a few things I’m learning during this post-op imprisonment within my own room. A few I already knew, but they’ve been reinforced rather firmly. Here they are, in no particular order:

Always get it in writing. The surgeon gave me a bunch of instructions the day before the surgery, and a bunch more after the [...]


Impending Oral Doom

Published on January 4, 2006

Alright, so my dental debacle is getting more and more complex every day. Originally, I had been scheduled for a cleaning this morning and the consultation on the 2nd. However, I was called on the 29th and told that my consultation couldn’t be scheduled because it turns out the doctor wasn’t actually going to be [...]


Delaware Beach Trip

Published on August 15, 2005

I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 11. Yes, that’s fourteen hours of sleep, not two. When I woke up this morning, my back was sore, my shoulders and back radiate enough heat to lightly toast a loaf of bread, and my face is tight from the remanants of sun. And I [...]
